Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Live Updates, IPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bengaluru's star batter Virat Kohli will aim to reach the historic 13000-run mark in T20 cricket when the side is hosted by Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk tonight. Kohli needs only 55 runs more to become the first-ever Indian batter to achieve the feat.
Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara lauded Lucknow Super Giants all-rounder Shardul Thakur for his surprise bouncer causing the hard-hitting Abhishek Sharma to be late on his shot and be dismissed early, which eventually set the tone for the visitors to get their first win of IPL 2025. At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Thakur had Abhishek caught off his short ball at deep square leg and picked up 4-34, his best figures in the IPL, as a power-packed SRH batting line-up managed to score only 190/9.
MS Dhoni is no less than a god-like figure for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans. Over the years, Dhoni's name has been synonymous with CSK. Last season, even during the matches away the Chepauk, there were more CSK jerseys than that of the home team inside the stadium. All because of the Dhoni-factor. Ever since Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket, fans only get the chance to watch him play during the IPL as he does not play any other form of cricket.
Former BCCI national selector Saba Karim weighed in on the board's SOP, which relates to the significant reduction in a player's time with family during overseas tours. He firmly believes that BCCI and players should strike the "right balance." The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) rule limits the time players' families can stay with them during tours. While prolonged separation can be challenging for families, restricting their presence to a certain period helps players focus on the game.
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has put a tag of the best T20 player on Nicholas Pooran in the present scenario following his impeccable dominance that assisted Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in breaching Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) fortress in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Pooran has ignited the ongoing edition of the cash-rich league with his sheer blitzkrieg with the bat. With his explosive 70(26), he was the backbone of Lucknow's successful 191-run chase as the Super Giants sealed a 5-wicket win in Hyderabad.
Virat Kohli's exemplary work ethic continues to serve as a source of inspiration for his teammates and the Indian superstar remains committed to raising the bar for himself, said RCB batting coach Dinesh Karthik on Thursday. Karthik, a former RCB player who retired after the last IPL edition, said Kohli remains as hungry as ever. "Even today, just now as I came out, he wanted to work on one more shot. At this point in time, to work on one more shot tells you the hunger that he has in his mindset," the former India wicketkeeper-batter said on the ever of RCB versus CSK clash.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru's hopes of exorcising a 17-year jinx hinge on their experienced batting unit finding its range when they face familiar foes Chennai Super Kings in their IPL match in Chennai on Friday. The Royal Challengers have beaten the Super Kings only once at Chepauk — in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2008. In the current RCB squad, only star batter Virat Kohli was part of that moment and now he will like to breach the CSK's fortress for a second time.
NEW DELHI : Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant said sacrificing the number three slot for Nicholas Pooran was well worth it after they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday for their first victory of the new Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
